It's up to the shop themselves to input that information in. So you might want to do a search on the model they use, because it might actually be touchless even though on Tirerack it doesn't indicate it as such.

Chillax bro!
Don't you smile at me with that emoticon!!!:

I kid.......I kid....

Sorry, I didn't mean anything by it. I guess it did kind of sound like I was flaming at you now that I read it back. It's not easy conveying tone in text

Let me re-phrase.

Do you know of any solution determining what machine tire shops use other than Tire Rack? Please feel free to share.

Well I did go back and look at my original post, and I guess I wasn't too clear.

Once again, I was just stating that if TireRack doesn't list the machine as being touchless that doesn't mean it isn't. You can search the model online to try to find spec's for it to see if it is or isn't. For instance, the one shop near me that I go to, doesn't list their machine as touchless, but if I look up the spec's on it, it is indeed touchless.

Just find a shop like this in your area.
Thanks for the link, I have been looking for tire places that have a good rep and are close to Newport and that fits the bill. Appreciate it!
